Women in Breakbulk Breakfast

Start Breakbulk Europe, the world’s largest event for the project cargo industry, with a burst of energy. Connect with women from across the global breakbulk community, reconnect with colleagues and make new introductions before the exhibition doors open.

What happens in your brain and body when you lose focus, feel exhausted, or hit “brain fog” during high-stakes work? Unlike cargo ships running on bunker fuel, humans run on something far more complex, but more trainable. Join Vivien Puppa Kocsis, award-winning Harvard-educated scientist and Guinness World Record endurance athlete, for a science-backed look at how high-performing women sustain energy under pressure. Featuring a live brainwave demo, this session explores the physiological factors and practical advice that help women maintain energy in demanding environments.

We’ve gathered women working in energy projects from across the supply chain to provide updates and outlooks for transitional and green energy, representing an enormous pipeline of work in engineering, transportation, infrastructure and logistics. The conversation will then turn to other forms of energy, both personal and for teams, to help you sustain yourself and your colleagues through your most challenging project work.

This fast-paced role-playing card game is a great way to learn more about women in the industry and make strong connections. You will pair up for rapid-fire rounds, switching partners frequently to practice identifying burnout, refueling personal energy, supporting team members and keeping momentum moving up the management chain. You'll come away with new ideas and new friends.

True performance isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about managing energy in a way that supports both output and well-being. Designed for women in the breakbulk and logistics industry, this session acknowledges the realities of high-pressure environments while offering practical, restorative tools to help participants feel more energized, focused, and grounded throughout their day.

Closing remarks and invitation to continue the conversation in the Women in Breakbulk Lounge, Stand 2R70, located in the entrance hall.
